Overview

• The Steelers edged the Vikings 24-21 in Week 4 in Dublin, Ireland.
• Protecting a three-point lead, Pittsburgh took a delay and punted on fourth-and-1 from Minnesota’s 40; the kick resulted in a touchback.
• On the NFL Network broadcast, Greg Olsen said it was “a no-brainer” to try for the half yard to prevent a Minnesota possession.
• Writers including CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr labeled the choice “indefensible,” though some analysis defended the field-position and turnover-risk calculus.
• Mike Tomlin defended the decision as trust in his defense and noted he supported Aaron Rodgers’ competitive push on an earlier fourth-and-goal attempt that failed.
